Artists’ StayWet Palette

Artists’ StayWet Palette

The StayWet Palette is an essential tool for artists and students working with acrylic paints who want to extend their working time. Acrylics dry as water evaporates, but the StayWet Palette’s special semi-permeable membrane slows this process by allowing moisture from the reservoir paper beneath to pass through, keeping the paint moist and workable for longer. This system helps reduce paint waste and the need to remix colours, making it ideal for larger or more detailed projects.

  • Designed for artists working with acrylic paints on longer or larger artworks
  • Prevents acrylic paint from drying out quickly on the palette
  • Reduces paint waste and the need to remix colours
  • Comes with reservoir paper and membrane sheets included
  • Compatible with StayWet Palette Large refills for continued use
  • Available in a variety of sizes
